Christlike, Gospel-Centered
2 Timothy 4:9-22
Paul closes out what was to be his final letter in Scripture, giving to Timothy some last instructions, mostly on practical and personal matters. In these, Paul’s character and priorities continue to shine through, and so we stand to profit all the way to the end from the man who earlier said “be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.”

He provides three contrasts between those who fall away and those who remain.

Neither War nor Peace – A Gospel Response to False Teachers
2 Timothy 2:14-26
Paul turns to address how the man of God is to respond to the wolves in sheep’s clothing which the Lord promised, and Paul predicted would come to Ephesus. In his advice to Timothy, the apostle sets up the pattern for all God’s people in responding to false teachers, neither squabbling nor compromising, but hoping in the goodness and power of God and His purposes.
